To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. DAMoN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of New York, Morris Park, borough of Queens,inthe county OfQueens and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Burner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention is an improvement in hydrocarbon burners as used forheating puroses, such, for example, as heating rivets or boilers,.fire-boxes, etc., and has for an object to provide a burner having airand fuel passages,.a combustion Hue surrounding the burner having airintake openings in the side and bottom thereof, and a re lating deviceclosel fitting the Hue having like openings in t e side and bottomthereof, the side openin and the bottom openings of the flue anregulatin' device being movable alternately into an out of register whenthe device is revolved relatively to the Hue.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings formin a part ofthis specification, in which sim' ar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in `all the` views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a burner embodying my invention; Fig. 2is a central vertical section of the same substantially on the line 2--2of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a crosssection on the line 3-3of Fig. 2 lookingin the direction of the arrows.

The burner body 5 is constructed with a' substantially centrallongitudinal air-passa e 6, and a fuel assage 7, located at oneel-passage discharging at l,the head of the burner 1n an annular groove8 'formed therein. Adjustable over the head of the burner, referablythreadedly connecting therewit is a cap 9 of conical form to conform tothe to burner-head, and having a central ischarge opening 10 insubstantial 4alinement with the air assage 6. f

T e air passage. 6 connects 'with a socket member 11 throu h theintermediary of a nipple 12, and t e fuel-passa e 7 1s connected with alike socket mem r 11 by an elbow 13 and a nip le 14, the elbowconnecting at one side of t e burner body, whereby the fuel-passa e isoff-set at one side of the air-passage. substantial transversealinement,\and each is revoluble upon a conical`elbow `15- havi'g* an ofthe -narily inaccessi he socket members 11 are m aperture 16 at itsinner reduced end, which is at all times 'in communication with theladjacent passages. T he elbows 15 res ectively connect with airpressureand el supplies as by the pi 's 18. Y

Inclosing the hea of the burner and threaded to the body thereof is acombustion Hue 19,`havin 20, and provi ed with twov sets of open' s 21and 22, respectively arranged in.1ts si e and in its bottom. The sideopenin and bottom openings in the combustion ue are for the purpose ofadmitting the requisite quantity of air for complete combustion,

rand are ada ted to be alternately covered by a cup-shape re ulatindevice 23 revolubly mounted on the ody o the burner, and provided withopenings. in the sides and bottom thereof, havmg the same relativearrangement as the openin s in the Hue. When the openings 'through ebottom of the Hue are insucient'to supply the desired quantity of air tothe burner, the regulating device is revolved to bring its side openingsinto register and simultaneously operates to cut off or blank theopenings 1n the bottom. This movement of the re ulating device ispreferably limited in eac sai/d screws also serving to support the `saiddeviceou the combustlon Hue. The screws 24, as best shown in Fig. 1, arethreaded into the base of the Hue and pass through slots 25 formed inthe regulator. The relative location of the screws 24 and the slots 25is such-that as the regulator is revolved its limit in one direction,the side air intake openings are cut A0H? yand the bottom air intakeopenings are uncovered, as shownv in Fig. 2, and when revolved its limitin the opposite direction, the reverse is the case.

In the operation of the burner, the fuel passes to the burner-head andHows in the annular groove 8'where it is completely' vaporized and isforced by the air, passing through the passage 6, through the dischargeopening 10, where it is thoroughly mixed and ignited, the Hame beinconcentrated by passing through thelconica nozzle 20.

The burner in use may be swung to and from the points of application onthe elbows 15, which ada t it for use in places ordile to devices oflike character. Having thus described lmy Vinvention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: l
